Abstract:

The economic sustainability of an area is largely dependent on the education level of its population, yet little is known about the role cultural racism may play in academic success. The purpose of this correlational study was to evaluate the theory of cultural racism, defined as, the establishment of cultural institutions by whites/Europeans to the detriment of non-white people, as it relates to academic success at the college level. Data were collected from 100 participants from 3 predominately African American high schools in the Atlanta, Georgia area to explore whether the presence of cult

Abstract:

Digital and electronic learning portfolios (e-portfolios) are playing a growing role in supporting admission to tertiary study and employment by visual creatives.

Abstract:

This research applied a cultural evolutionary framework in addressing two essentialist beliefs related to health and gender. The first part of the thesis focused on whether genetic essentialist cognition translates to biased transmission of genetic etiological information, using a generational learning experimental method. The second study extended this question to include individual factors (e.g., perceived vulnerability to diseases) that may influence the retention and transmission of genetic-based etiological information. Both studies showed that disorder framing affected which etiology is

Abstract:

In the formerly forested highlands overlooking Kenya's Rift Valley from the boundary of Narok District, rights in land are highly contested. Disputes revolve around a central question: who belongs at Enoosupukia and to whom does Enoosupukia belong? For a core community who call this place their ancestral home, uncertainty about the answer translates to a pervasive sense of insecurity and hardship; faced with a diverse array of competing claims from a constellation of actors, including non-local members of several ethnic and sub-ethnic collectivities as well as local and central branches of the

Abstract:

In my dissertation, I argue that blackness is an accumulable cultural resource that perpetuates racial and class inequality. The overarching question I ask is what determines who benefits from blackness, black bodies or dominant resources? To answer this question, I first develop a framework that integrates cultural capital theory with two streams of research within the sociology of race - `racialization' and `race as a resource.' Next, I demonstrate my argument and address secondary theoretical goals - in globalization and race in Brazil, with an empirical study in the context of cultural tou

This thesis deals with the determinants and mechanisms of individual secularisation processes in a cross-national perspective. In this ‘collected volume’ of six stand-alone articles, I examine religious beliefs and behaviours as well as attitudes towards religion and politics, whereby the validity of the main theories of religious change (classical secularisation theory, existential security hypothesis, supply-side explanations, historical/cultural approaches and conflict theories) are put to an empirical test. The main conclusion is that the fundamental mechanisms suggested by secularisation

As the largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba boasts beautiful scenery, as well as a rich and diverse culture. Yet, throughout Cuban history, the beauty of this famous socialist nation has been marred by social inequalities, primarily affecting class, gender, and race.
